Americans are inundated with options when it comes to looking for their next home. While people have to consider many factors before picking a location, recommendations from experts and data can help the process. That's why 24/7 Wall St. scoured through data to determine the best cities to live in America.
"Using data from the Census Bureau, the FBI, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 24/7 Wall St. created a weighted index of 22 measures to identify the 50 best U.S. cities to live in," researchers explained.
